using the command in comment #3 I see satellites but the app still doesn't show any data so assuming the app is not of help here, and it seems gps is working

Location can also be based on Wifi or phone network, but accuracy for that is insufficient for driving/geocaching/any application except nearby restaurants. I can currently only get a location based on wifi / phone network. If I disable this feature, I get no location at all. Not after reboot, not sometimes, not ever. Trying to do: Navigate using GPS and/or network What I expect: Accuracy is high with all location services on. It decreases slightly when network based location is switched off. It decreases sharply when only GPS is switched off. What happens: Accuracy is very low (30m - 2000m) with all location services on. Location is impossible when network based location is switched off. It doesn't make a difference if I switch the GPS on or off. This may be a hardware issue, and I'll probably be sending in my phone (MX4) for check/repair, but that would mean missing my phone. I'd much rather troubleshoot myself. I already have location test and sensorsstatus to monitor this, but I want to know more about if the chip is functioning. Which logs are relevant? I've thought about flashing android on and seeing if that helps (which makes it a software issue), or doesn't (which makes it a hardware issue). Is there an easier way to get an answer to the software/hardware question? Thanks!
